About “Music Bank”
“Musical bank” is a survey organized by Latvian Radio 2, in which listeners determine the most valuable and most loved domestic songs every year. “Music Bank” is broadcast three times a week on Latvian Radio 2 – on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:05 p.m. and on Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. Throughout the year, audience voting on the website www.muzikalabanka.lv determines the most valuable pop and rock songs of the week, month and year. Traditionally, the annual survey of the “Musical Bank” ends with an ambitious award ceremony, in which the authors and performers of songs whose works are most appreciated by the radio listeners and the jury take part.
This year “Music Bank” will be held for the 24th time. “Muzikālā banka 2022” won the laurels of the group “Citi zēni” with the song “Lieka stuka”. The song “Laternas” performed by the group “Sudden Lights” became the second most valuable song, while the third place was taken by “The Sound Poets” with the song “Pie jenas uņu”.
